Peterborough Cathedral is a gem. Mary Queen of Scots was, for a time buried within the 12th-century place of worship. Her remains were moved to Westminster Abbey in 1612 but Scottish flags mark the spot where she once lay. Katherine of Aragon, a former wife of King Henry VIII is still buried in the cathedral.
1895–1945: from architect-designed mansions to planbook homes.
Full of bohemian personality, incredible gothic architecture and a huge list of hot spots (food alert everyone!), Glasgow’s West End is one of the best parts to explore and stay in. With everything in a walkable distance (a bonus when the Scottish weather brings a fair few showers), I couldn’t help but put together a little list of recommendations for everyone that’s heading to gorgeous Glasgow’s West End.

English Medieval Church timber roofs Interior Architecture gift for architect Framable Wall Art The page includes many detailed drawings. From a 1924 study of World Architecture. Original published lithograph. Will include a page to demonstrate the authenticity, age and publication details. The page is in excellent shape. It's two sided but there is no show through. The page may have edge chipping but it does not interfere with image. This print is printed on a single page that measures 9.25 by 5.75 inches. It would look lovely framed and displayed in your study. Come find other wonderful things in my shop: jbling.etsy.com

Mysteriously stacked storefront paths give this medieval British town an iconic style like none other.
These English-inspired houses are part of the same architectural movement that spawned the English Queen Anne style, the Shingle Style, and American Queen Anne houses. They mark a transition between late Victorian sensibility and the beginning of modern architecture, including Arts & Crafts.

Many things can shape a city—its culture, history, social life, or food scene. But perhaps the most distinctive feature would be architecture. Some buildings can completely fascinate you with their astonishing design and pure aesthetics. Through careful urban planning and understanding of the cultural background, the structure of a city can carry you through time while still leaving you in a very particular place.
This must be Rose Cottage. I've never even heard of this hamlet but now I must go. Blaise Hamlet is a hamlet in north-west Bristol England, composed of a complex of small cottages around a green. They were built around 1811 for retired employees of Quaker banker and philanthropist John Scandrett Harford, who owned Blaise Castle House. The hamlet was designed by John Nash, master of the Picturesque style. He had worked for Harford on other buildings. The cottages are now owned by the National Trust. They are still occupied and not open to the public, but the ensemble may be viewed from the outside. All the cottages, and the sundial on the green (which is accessible to the public), are Grade I listed buildings. Rose Cottage is now rented out by the National Trust as a holiday cottage. image source There is a composit of all the cottages HERE on Flickr. What a wonderful man John Harford must have been. The whole concept gives me goose bumps, and knowing he carried it out is simply wonderful. This must be one of the most charming places in all of England. Have a great weekend.
So I loved The Sims Medieval, not because of the RPG aspect with a dash of simulation. But because of the time period it was set in.
